Hey guys, I lived it all. Brought DEC (started w/11/70) to Fidelity when all
they had was IBM Mainframes. Had DEC VTxxx's throughout the Investment area.
Used RSTS - and we did everything on it from Bond Arbitrage Analysis to
Dividend Discount Models (I ran the Quant. group). I also brought DEC to our
correspondents (usually 11/45's).
On the other hand - I wouldn't wish away 10 years of my life to have been
around "sooner" and witnessed Whirlwind or Univac I ;-)

Let's face
it - computers today are shite. Why wasn't I born 10 years
earlier so I could've enjoyed this stuff as it was happening?! Bah.
That's my feeling most days, also.
